Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement Watch
"Constant Escapement" sounds like the marketing slogan for an all-inclusive vacation resort somewhere. "What you truly seek is constant escapement..."

What?Girard-Perregaux?actually means is "constant force escapement" - which is really what this new high-end technically-astute timepiece is all about.

5,000th Post with SOTC
What more is there to do on your 5,000th post than update everyone on your SOTC. Here's a brief pictorial of the current collection. I'm not sure what's next.
